This map gets honest with residents of Florida

It may sting a little bit, but don’t you think they pegged us completely?

Thrillist released a “painfully honest map of Florida,” which illustrated specific places around the state and what the honest representation of them are. According to the map, here in Palm Beach County, we are where your grandparents live and where future NFL players come from.

Other spots in Florida include Orlando having a big Mickey Mouse logo, Miami being called the place with “promoters and Instagram models,” the citizens of Gainesville being referred to as “cult-like football fans,” Pensacola being dubbed “East Alabama,” and Tallahassee being the home to dumb, pretty people.

While it may hurt, some of the titles for Florida areas aren’t completely untrue. Daytona Beach was referred to as NASCAR while it just said “shark attacks” next to New Smyrna Beach. A note that says “begin: Latin America” is put over South Florida while the Florida Keys have a diver with the caption “things we won’t speak of again.”

The site must have a vendetta against the Sunshine State after it called Florida “the worst state in the U.S.” in June. According to Thrillist, “there can be some temptation to defy popular expectations, and go against the grain. However, Florida’s awfulness resume is so staggeringly impressive that it couldn’t go any other way. You were born for this. Embrace it.”

Michigan was ranked number one, which is fine. We will just enjoy the sun and beach this winter.
